The Committee takes note of the information provided in reply to its previous comments.

Article 16, paragraph 3, of the Convention. With regard to the requirement that inspectors must notify employers and workers of their presence for an inspection visit, unless they consider that such notification would be prejudicial to effective inspection, the Government refers to section 44 of the Dahir of 24 April 1973 determining the conditions of employment and remuneration of agricultural workers. The Committee notes, however, that section 44 contains no provisions on the subject in question, and hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to ensure the application of the Convention in this respect and that it will provide particulars of them.

Article 17. The Committee notes that by virtue of section 36 of the above-mentioned Dahir, the inspection services may exercise preventive control in enterprises. It hopes that in its future reports the Government will provide additional information - including examples - on the way in which such control is carried out in practice.

Article 18, paragraphs 2(a) and (b), 3 and 4. With regard to the powers of labour inspectors to make orders to remedy defects observed and procedures for exercising such powers, the Government mentions arrangements which are similar to the ones applied in the commercial and industrial sectors. In view of the fact that the provisions applying in these two sectors (the Dahir of 2 July 1947 issuing labour regulations and the Royal Decree of 3 June 1966 amending it) do not cover the agricultural sector, the Committee asks the Government to indicate any measures taken or under consideration to remedy the absence of legislation for this sector.

With regard to the annual inspection reports to be supplied under Articles 26 and 27, and certain specific problems raised by unions, the Committee refers the Government to its observation on Convention No. 81.
